Rethinking Boxing

Howie Severino shared this link at Facebook.

It's about the pain in boxing. Matthew Syed wrote an incisive critique on the pain, on the image of Hatton's girlfriend.

True we were not the one on the canvass, it was Hatton.

The money will flow for both fighters and their associates and the media.

But where has civilization been going when we see these things? Can we separate the enjoyment of those Romans when this group called Christians as they find themselves standing on the dreadful sands of the coliseum? Are we different?

After the fight, are we better humans? Was it able to lift the human condition?
